Michael Sheringham: Living and Teaching in Beijing in the 1970s – SACU ChinaChat Series “Your Stories with China”
May 15, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Michael Sheringham will be in conversation with SACU Archivist Dr Linxi Li on his experiences of living and teaching in Beijing. This is the latest in our series “Your Stories with China” SACU ChinaChats.
Michael studied Chinese at Durham and Cambridge Universities, becoming an active SACU member in its early years after 1967. Michael joined the 1971 SACU tour and he was invited to teach English at Peking University (Beida) in 1972, staying there until 1978. This was the period of the ‘Revolution in Education’, which he experienced at first hand. He will illustrate his talk with his own photographs.
Saturday 15th May from 2.00pm by Zoom.
SACU ChinaChats are members-only meetings for members to meet and discuss China-related topics.
